Crockpot Potato Soup

Crockpot Potato Soup

I've been meaning to post this forever, in fact since 2014! However I added the picture and then didn't have time to write the post and then babies and life and yada yada yada...

BBQ Pulled Pork

Lip smackin' good y'all!

I don't know about you but I'm always looking for a good crockpot recipe. Honestly, sometimes I hardly have time to eat much less think about what to make for dinner. And in the summer when I'd rather be playing with my family outside, the last thing I really want to do is come inside to cook all night. I mean, I live in Wisconsin...I have to take advantage of summer when I can!!

Copycat Olive Garden's Pasta Fagioli Soup

This has to be my favorite soup at Olive Garden, hands down. As an avid Pinterest user, I saw this on Pinterest as a crockpot soup and knew it was going in the rotation. I was able to put everything in the crockpot before I left for work and by the time we got home, I just threw the (store bought) breadsticks in the oven and 15 minutes later we were eating a healthy and DELICIOUS meal! If you like soup and crockpot cooking, MAKE THIS!

Crockpot Chicken Chili

Make this. Now. No, I'm not even kidding. This is super super super easy and delicious!! I thought this would be fairly bland since there are not many ingredients but it was sooooo flavorful and yummy! And did I mention it was easy?!? I wish I had more to say about this but....just make it.

Crockpot Chicken Chili

Source: Michelle, my daycare provider

Ingredients:

1 lb. boneless chicken breasts

1 jar black bean & corn salsa (I suggest Neuman's Own)

1 can white beans

1 jar of water (use empty salsa jar)

White cheese, about 2 cups

Optional add-ins: corn, spinach, more beans, mushrooms, etc (I added extra corn)

Directions:

Place chicken breasts in the crock pot. Pour salsa, white beans, and water over chicken and stir. Cook on high 4-5 hours (or low about 8). Shred chicken then add cheese (and any other add-ins) and cook for another 30-60 minutes.

This makes a very thick chili so add more water if you want a more soupy chili.
